Would this gate be useful as a protective barrier to prevent my mother from accidently falling into the tub?

I don't think so, because a) it's not tall and she could just fall over it, and b) it's rather flimsy and wouldn't necessarily hold her weight.

Unless your mom is about 4 feet tall, then probably not. The gate is about 3 feet tall. How sturdy it is all depends on what you screw the i hooks into. We have ours in studs and it does a surprisingly good job of acting as a dog barrier. Best of luck.

I wouldn't since it's just plastic, not metal. And it might also depend on what she weighs. It just sticks to the shower wall with peel and stick adhesive strips and while it holds well so far I would think a small stool would be safer for a foot to rest on. Good luck.

Yes. I think it would help with that. I use a walker for that and this safety rail in the bathroom where I did not want to put a permanent rail on the wall.

I don't think so. It will help keep the door in the closed position or return it to closed if opened.

No. Gates with that feature are pretty descriptive to that point. This is a very cheap gate. You can't apply to much pressure with it or it will break.

In my opinion YES, it will prevent that. It is double bolted and secured to the side framing of the door. With a past in public safety, I researched this quite a bit because in our new home we can not use a simple pin to secure the door over and above the cheap latches that come on sliding doors. When I researched this type of lock and passed it around a few police friends we were all in agreement that this would ultimately keep the door attached and unable to be removed from the tracks as normal access with a crow bar or heavy screw driver would allow. I highly recommend it.

No. It would either a) expand and fill the gap at the bottom, thus sealing the door, or b) create a strip of rigid foam that people would step on and ruin. This is for sealing a gap between two objects where movement is not intended.

Would not work for that purpose as it needs a lift gate. BUT I would suggest one of those shower size tents I have seen at Sporting Good stores. They are for privacy chem toilets or whatever. But I think if you position that at an angle by the door (one corner at one side of the door and the door used as a shield/gate on the other side. Or hang a curtain across from other side of doorway to tent) it could work. I hope you understand what I mean. Can't exactly diagram it here. I love tear drops.

We have had ours at the top of the stairs since our son was walking around 10 months he is currently 27 months and we still use it. We have really wide stairs and this was the only gate that anchored to the wall well and didn't seem flimsy. I think if you don't have it installed properly, don't lock the screen, or don't watch then it can be a problem. We always taught our son to not go near the stairs or push on the gate. It has helped to give us a piece of mind if he is playing up stairs, or wakes up in the middle of the night. I don't have to worry about him sleepily falling down the stairs. It has held him too when he's slipped on the floor and couldn't catch himself. Out of a lot of things I have bought for our son, this is one of the top 3 purchases for me!

Yes.. if you are talking about it being on the floor outside the tub and you are stepping in and out onto it. I would also suggest using a grab bar in conjunction with it if no one is there to assist you. Someone mentioned about not using INSIDE tub to get out and I agree with them if that's what you have in mind. I would not use anywhere but on the floor. Myself, I use it on the driveway to assist my 91 yr old mother to get in and out of my SUV.

I think it would but then you wouldn't be able to close the door. It isn't something that should be put on and taken off- it needs to be very tight so as not to slip.

Not really, although it might be possible. I really need to lift it slightly and make sure the top catches. It is a safe gate though- I can't imagine small children figuring out how to open it. I use it outside to keep my dogs out of the side part of my yard. I hope that helps.

I only use it to get in and out of the tub. I only take showers so I don't know your particular problem. It does tighten on the tub securely so I'm sure you wouldn't pull it off. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Most likely, yes. The gate has side support bars, perpendicular to the gate itself and touching the floor. I have two dogs under 30 pounds, and one of them was able to move the gate by jumping into it repeatedly.

Read my review. in order to secure this gate so it cannot br knocked down, you can't open it. My 2 year ol knocked it down. This gate would fail unless you never need to open it and just need a wall you can see through. If it's not a large dog that climbs I recommend a Summer brand gate that's regular height.

This works very well for stepping out of the bathtub. The foot stool with the handle is very stable at all times and I wish I had gotten it much sooner. I'm not sure what you mean about using it as a safety bar.

It's a ladder, after all. Braced well in an of itself. You'd have to judge whether it is safe to step from a ladder into a tub.
